What do you like best about Sync.com?

I would say they have a simple interface, but that doesn't matter when they lose your files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sync.com?

They lost my files and haven't provided any explanation. The support was slow and absolutely unhelpful.

I have a paid plan and accidentally noticed that about 50 of my files disappeared from the storage without any notice. According to their own logs, my files should be still in storage but they are obviously not. I checked their servers' status page, and no downs or errors were mentioned there. I contacted their support and provided all the needed information for the investigation and only after 7 weeks of communication by email, they just say that the files can't be restored and that is not the kind of user experience they want to provide. And that is all! No excuses, no explanation, no any kind of compensation or refund.

They present themselves as reliable cloud file storage, but they can't do the only thing that you want them to do. I hardly can imagine such a situation with even old-style website hosting providers.

Don't trust this service! You most likely will just lose your data and spend days trying to contact them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Third-party (to Google Workspace or other cloud -based services) HIPAA compliant storage.

Simple, straightforward, affordable cloud backup storage.

Priced well for single-user based business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited integration options (e.g. other software packages)

Limited diversity of services (but this is due to it being focused on secured storage rather than a range of features) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sync.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloud based HIPAA compliant backups for ePHI. This product closed the gap for storage and backups as compared to more feature rich services such as Google Workspace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sync.com?

Sync.com is one of the best most secured cloud storage providers in the industry. If my memory serves me right I think I first heard about Sync.com in 2015. At first, I did not think Sync.com was such a big thing. It was only after I realized Encryption and its importance that I realized how good Sync.com is. Since then I've kept all the very important bank information and most important things related to our Business Website at Sync.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sync.com?

To be honest, Sync.com's mobile application is not enough. Sometimes Automatic Backup does not work at all. Not enough Desktop Syncing is very slow. Probably because Sync encrypts all the files. In any case, they should pay more attention to their mobile application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sync.com:

If online privacy is a serious concern for your business, you should use Sync and I'm sure you will love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sync.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Even though we are a small team we have a lot of important things to keep as documents about the business. We do not think it's safe to store it on a hard drive. We were not content to simply store such important files in any online cloud storage. So I decided to put it in Sync. Now everything is safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sync.com?

I appreciate how easy it is to share documents with internal and external customers. You can elect to share entire folders to single documents, and I feel confident with end-to-end encryption that documents are secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sync.com?

There are no major drawbacks compared to a system like dropbox. Google documents is more helpful if you need to collaborate on documents, but not as secure as Sync.com Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sync.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need to share sensitive documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sync.com?

So many features which will flatter you. It's designed to keep data safe from hackers. It encrypts your file with a cipher which no one can unlock. It is basically built around for security purpose. You can use various varification methods to keep your data safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sync.com?

Few things that I am not sure could be useful. It sometimes makes hard for us to sync including the 3rd party like google. It is less useful as a team collaboration. Drag and drop can't be done in it. In order to choose and a file and move we have go through a menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sync.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

It would say atleast they can introduce drag and drop feature and benefits as I already mentioned it guarantees full security of data what I most like about it is it has 2 factor verification process. It means 3rd party can't access it without verification Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sync.com?

I like how it syncs to the desktop so files are easily accessible. There is version history in case a file is written over, I can go back and restore a previous file. I like how links can be password protected and you can specify who has access to what folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sync.com?

I do not like how two people can work on one file at the same time and it creates two different versions (vs. collaborating in real time or locking the other person out until finished). This creates the headache of trying to figure out what changes were made on what document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sync.com:

It's a great tool for the price compared to the other file storage tools with all the bells and whistles. What it lacks it makes up for in price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sync.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it for file storage and sharing. We are able to have the company internally work on documents and have them be stored in one place. We can also send our clients password protected files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sync.com?

The first thing that comes to mind is the word "ease" and it is that everything is quite easy to do with this program, from installation and configuration to storage management they become quite simple tasks to perform , it is hardly necessary for it to be present because everything is done automatically, the document loading speed is quite good, so I do not waste so much time waiting for light files to load in the system, the fact that That the information is in the cloud allows me to access from any device to consult or download the information that is in my account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sync.com?

In some cases when there is a very bad internet connection the system "hangs" making it impossible for me to use it practically at all, so I have to restart everything to continue continuing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sync.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

To upload my work files to the business account we have, in such a way that both my colleagues and I can have access to the information of the entire sales area to support each other when making relationships, balances and reports of sale in a much simpler and faster way without having to be asking the information personally from the sellers since it is already loaded into the system.
